Key

Description

Custom EOS Structured Configuration keys can be set on any group or host_var level using the name of the corresponding eos_cli_config_gen key prefixed with content of custom_structured_configuration_prefix.

The content of Custom Structured Configuration variables will be merged with the structured config generated by the eos_designs role.

The merge is done recursively, so it is possible to update a sub-key of a variable set by eos_designs role already.

The merge follow these recursive merge strategies:

• New keys will be added for all types.
• Existing keys of type "List" with a "Primary key" set in the schema:
  • Strategy can be changed with custom_structured_configuration_list_merge. Default strategy:
    • Existing list items with the same "Primary key"-value will be updated.
    • New unique items will be appended to the existing list
• Other keys of type "List" will have new unique items appended the the existing list.
• Existing keys of type "Dictionary" will recursively merge
• Other existing keys will be replaced.

Path

NOTE: We are using the same format as jq to specify the path to the key.
